Metformin serum concentrations during pregnancy and post partum – A clinical study in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
Abstract
Metformin is used to treat gestational diabetes. It is also used to treat women with polycystic ovary syndrome and has been shown to prevent late miscarriage and preterm birth. However, increased renal clearance during pregnancy causes a decline in serum concentrations of metformin. The aim of this study was to explore the time course of the pregnancy‐related changes in metformin pharmacokinetics and the return to the non‐pregnant state.
